How do you vape?

[bckane]

I have to agree 100%............reduced in flavor. Im finding myself remixing juices for the protank, which I dont want to do. I wanting to like this tank. Ive rebuilt all my coils.........but still lack in flavor. Hope someone will chime in on this

Have you noticed any reduced flavor with your protank? The flavor in mine doesn't really compare to that of my DCT or my vivinova...I have been using it because leaking issues were pissing me off.

Sorry to get off the post
How I vape, draw into my mouth, roll around then hit the lungs......

Do you notice you get any nic from not inhaling at all? You get nic from a cigar or pipe by not inhaling but when you smoke those it's normally for around a half hour.

I read somewhere (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that the mouth is better at absorbing nic than the lungs are. With cigs there's the tar that leaves a coating on the lungs, so there's more time for nic absorption... but vapor goes right back out on the exhale. If that's true, then vaping with a direct lung hit is the most inefficient way to get nic.

Mouth, then lungs. As always, I'm amazed when this topic comes up. I smoked that way, too, and can't imagine that people pull smoke directly into the lungs.

Me too. I smoked that way (mouth, then lungs), but for some reason when I got my first PV I kept inhaling straight into my lungs (and wondering why it was so harsh). I figured it out pretty quickly though.

I have found I really don't inhale at all...it's more like a cigar smoke...kind of roll it around and then blow it out...thing is, it seems to satisfy me, indicating it is more of a hand/mouth process than a nic addiction...

Firstly I apply tip of device between lips, now as I anticipate the sweetness I draw into my mouth ever so softly a nice 2-3 second long draw, then as the deliciousness Is building I hold in my mouth for about .5 of a second, now almost drooling I take it to back of throat and down into my lungs, wow what a feeling, now as I exhale that burst of flavor passes back over the tongue.....then the satisfying plume.

Rinse and repeat ahhhhhh!

Love Vapeing.

When I smoked analogs...I smoked them hard. I didn't let them burn and smoked them down to the fingers for non filtered and down to the filters when I was on lights... to summarize, I inhaled directly into my lungs.

When vaping, I guess I'm a double pumper . I long inhale for 5-7 secs and hold it in my mouth and enjoy the flavor and th. Then I take another immediate long draw while exhaling the first draw out my nose. That one gets mouth held and then inhaled... exhaled through my nose or mouth randomly.

Its a unique way of doing it...I have no idea why I like it...but I do

Thanks

Wait, you guys can actually taste the vapor while holding it in your mouth? Hmmm... I can only taste it on the draw in and the exhale - the most flavor being in the "aftertaste", so to speak, but never if I do the "hold" thing... I do "taste" it the strongest if I do a double draw/puff like people do when puffing on a cigar. Or of I exhale slowly through my nose...

You might be getting more nic than you think. I tried to find more info on what I posted earlier. Here's a long thread:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/medical-research/15034-nicotine-absorbtion-vaping-research.html

"Most of the nicotine absorbed from vapor is absorbed by the mouth, throat, and nose. The vapor itself isn't finely particulated enough to be absorbed by the lungs."

If so, then people holding the vapor in their mouths are getting the most nicotine. People who inhale directly are getting much less.

I take a short pull first 3 seconds, in to my mouth and then quickly in the lungs...this makes room for the immediate second draw which is slightly longer and I let that sit for a half a second or so and then inhale it into the lungs with the first pull. Out both nose and mouth.

I am trying to learn to be more patient though - I feel like my current method ends up buring the heads/wicks faster. If I take just one 5-6 second draw it stays in my mouth for a bit then lungs and out nose and mouth.

I smoked cigarettes very fast, with the same two drag method. Usually taking in quite a bit of smoke-now vapor. I prefer this method, but I don't want to be burning up wicks so fast...I don't know that I have my head wrapped around rebuilding my own evod and protank heads yet.

"Skypea, You're doing it wrong"!

I draw it straight into my lungs. Always have. That's what I loved about smoking, was directly filling my lungs. I use very low nic or none at all so no harm no foul.

I think the reason I notice it more when I inhale than vaping like a cigar is the process is longer than just vape and release.
